ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!! Let the joyful, holy Anthems be sung, as the world celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The stone has been rolled away from the entrance of the tomb and the burial cloths lay bundled inside, but Jesus is no longer there. He is truly Risen!! From the lighting of the new Paschal Candle and Christ our Light is carried into the darkness of night, to bring His ever burning and bright light into our world, to the renewal of our Baptismal promises beginning our journey in faith, we celebrate with hearts full of joy that Jesus is alive. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, has conquered sin and death and is bringing each of us to new life with Him. As we celebrate in this Easter season the Resurrection of Jesus, may we become believers like the disciples and may our faith grow ever stronger. We are the people of the Resurrection and we need Jesus to be all the more alive in our daily world and in our hearts. May you know His loving presence, Alleluia, Alleluia!!
